Need to cmake .. from build dir, not cmake in the main src dir. Also please try only cmake with the new options first, before you modify the makefile.

Tried it. Did not help.
The binary daemon itself does not start.

Code:

./intensecoind: error while loading shared libraries: libboost_system.so.1.64.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Install http://www.boost.org/users/history/version_1_64_0.html

Code:

./intensecoind
Illegal instruction

I'm sorry the instructions didn't work as intended.

The illegal instruction error is because the software was compiled with instructions your processor doesn't support. I'll try to compile the public binary without sse4.2 support for you. Firing up the VM now

The VPNs most people use are purchased through centralized VPN companies.

Could you answer my question above:

what's the difference between this project and Tor except that Tor nodes are free for everyone and still are decentralised?

Tor is dreadfully slow, and Tor is linked to an entire different network (onion/deepweb). It's also much more common to use Tor solely for browser proxifying rather than as a VPN, in which every connection on your computer proceeds through the network. Again, Tor might have the capability to handle non-HTTP/HTTPS apps if they are designed correctly, but they will suffer significant speed penalties. Conversely, ITNS has no initial plans to network via deep web. As I told someone on Slack, the dark/deep web has very negative connotations. People hear deep web and think of hitmen, while people hear VPNs and think of the matrix. Think of your average PC user, not highly technical and well-educated technophiles like most people on BCT. Furthermore, part of the reason Tor is slow is because it's free. There's no incentive for people to host exit nodes, other than some interest in perpetuating a free internet (not many altruistic people are out there that do this). ITNS proposes to incentivize sharing your internet connection rather than doing it "for the good" of internet anonymity and security.

If the VPN can work and without major latency, slowing down the browser experience, then this project could defintiely have potential

The value of VPN is questionable when there is a corporate company you need to trust, that the govt can call into court demanding to see IP logs and records and such

If the VPN is decentralized though, there is nobody to subpoena into court

Exactly. Decentralization is IDEAL for VPNs. It's the perfect use case.

Another aspect to consider with the VPN service is bandwidth control. General surfing / browsing via a VPN running through a connection is one thing, streaming 4K UHD movies is quite another. I think there needs to be something built into the product that allows a VPN provider to cap the bandwidth usage.

Good point, our proposed billing model for the client/server relationship will be in time (pay per minute) rather than bandwidth, but an option should exist for data caps. I'm glad you brought this up.

Just started mining this last night, liked what I read for the future, and hoping you guys can pull it off!

And now for my reason to post, and forgive me if already addressed previously, as I've only read the past 20 pages of posts:

Curious of one thing, is the "Denomination Unit: 1.000 ITNS" always going to remain for intensecoin.com/pool? I never paid attention to that mention when I started, but now that I have half a day of payouts under my belt I now realize that means I'll only ever see whole # payouts. And therefore the day I decide to cease mining/go elsewhere I'll have leftover decimal amounts remain.

Sure it's only a decimal amount, for a coin with currently no value attached to it, but it'd be nice to make clean breaks from pools.

Hmm, maybe down the line.
